Salvia aethiopis is an aromatic species within the Lamiaceae family, used both as a herb and ornamental plant, yield quality of which, when cultivated on commercial basis, frequently affected by weed infestation. Therefore, application herbicide often required for production this species. Considering current study, pot experiment based upon completely randomized design, with three replications,...

Soil salinity is one of the most important environmental factors threatening agriculture on a global level. Plants show differences in resistance to salt stress, both terms species and variety. The aim study was determine effect stress photosynthetic efficiency activity plants two barley varietie—KWS Irina RGT Planet. grown pot experiment were subjected soil treatment with sodium chloride (NaCl...

Besides those durational differences due to the binary quantity opposition in both vowels and consonants, there are many systematic effects on segment durations within the domain of accentual F0 movement in Finnish. Some such effects are shown in this paper, and it is argued that their motivation is to contribute to a uniform realisation of accent irrespective of segmental word structure.

Here we document physiological and molecular attributes of three wheat cultivars (ZM9023, YM158 FM1228) under low light intensity with advanced technologies, including non-standard quantitative technology proteomics technology. We found lower dry matter accumulation compared ZM 9023 FM1228 intensities due to up-regulation photosynthetic parameters electron transport rate (ETR), Y(II), Fv/Fm, Ch...

The high temperature stress-induced changes in chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters were used to study heat tolerance in nine accessions of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) received from the germplasm collection of “Maritsa” Vegetable Crops Research Institute and the Invstitute for Introduction and Plant Genetic Resources. The bean plants were treated for 2h at two temperatures, 23oC and 45...

We investigated how the presence of cadmium (Cd) at the emergence of Phragmites australis Trin. (Cav.) ex Steudel plants from rhizomes interacted with leaf and chloroplast physiological and biochemical processes. About 8.5 nmol Cd mg-1 chlorophyll was found in leaves, and 0.83 nmol Cd mg-1 chlorophyll was found in chloroplasts of plants treated with 50 microm Cd. As a result, a 30% loss of chlo...

Coral bleaching events have become more frequent and widespread, largely due to elevated sea surface temperatures. Global climate change could lead to increased variability of sea surface temperatures, through influences on climate systems, e.g. El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO). Field observations in 1999, following a strong ENSO, revealed that corals bleached in winter after unusually cold ...
